Chapter Eighty-Five: The Path of the Priest and the Wanderer

I really experienced what it means to be a noodle with a lot of wealth in this temple of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce', and I was still a little dizzy when I walked out of the temple gate. I saw him shaking his head vigorously and asked, "This is too exaggerated!" Even the temple of Repulse City is nowhere near this level! ”

"Nouveau riche who lack heritage will naturally choose the naked way to show their wealth to the people around them." After a distance from the temple, Klymatis. Bot couldn't help but open his mouth first.

Although he is a player, Klematis. Bot still has a different feeling for where he came from. So when the noodles issued this evaluation was that Clay Mattis. Bot will find an opportunity to retort.

But in a sense, Clematis. Nor is there much wrong with Bote's statement. Compared to Repulse City, which has been the commercial center of the continent's west coast for hundreds of years, the city of 'Ulrike' is not even a rising star. Although it has developed well by virtue of its special political and geographical location, there is still a competitor in the country - the prosperity of 'Ulrique' depends to a greater extent on the peculiarities of its country, and the many dignitaries and dignitaries who support it are fed. In terms of trade nodes alone, it is much worse than the port of 'Morbihan' in Boreham.

So compared to Repulse City, 'Ulrike' is like an upstart with a gap in all aspects. However, the more nouveau riche tend to care about people's impressions. Among them, the other organizations of 'Ulrique' are not obvious, but the temple of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' chapter has no scruples. Even Clematis, who was shocked himself. Bot naturally didn't feel so comfortable.

"That's it! While the gems set on the walls are very attractive, we don't want to judge the way they are decorated. Barrett immediately stopped the two of them, "It's not all for nothing to come out this time!" In any case, the problem of Clematis should not fall to the level of being forced to donate. ”

"But even I didn't expect the church to be so big in Ulrike." Claymatis. Bot was also completely moved by this time.

It is appropriate to use the phrase "I don't know if I don't see it, and I am shocked when I see it" to describe the industry of the "goddess of wealth and business" in "Ulrike". Although everyone thought of this consortium in the name of religion before, it would never be possible to let go of this prosperous market. But they never imagined that the tentacles of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Business' had penetrated into all aspects of 'Ulrike'.

In the past, when searching for quests in the temple, players found that they could come into contact with everything from housing to clothing and cloth, from horse-drawn carriage shops to restaurants and markets. Nowadays, behind any industry of 'Ulrike', you can see the figure of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Business'.

"That's good news. As long as you want to contribute, you don't have to worry about not finding an opportunity. "But that also brings a problem. That is, if we were to get involved in the Indigenous disputes in Ulrique, we would probably have friction with the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce. Looks like if you want to get a job from the mercenary union in the future. The big guy's eyes are about to be polished. ”

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and even under the jurisdiction of the city guards and security forces, the friction between the various interest groups in the city has never stopped. The two biggest of these are the 'game' between the fiefdom nobility and the court nobility that the Bloodstained Grey Flower Lords are now participating in - of course, compared to the way others dare to sneak in the shadows, these two parties can behave above board because they control the organs of the state.

In this case, there are naturally various battles in the city of 'Ulrique'. From the simplest, rough and unskilled group to grab the turf. to throwing rats and cockroaches in a restaurant. From skillfully manipulating raw materials to competitors, to hiring rogues to raid caravans of rival chambers of commerce. It can be said that this unseemly tactic has never stopped. Even the mercenary guild sometimes takes on some similar peripheral tasks to ensure that the three or two kittens they have at hand will not starve to death.

In this case, players will have to keep their eyes peeled. In a short period of time, due to regional historical missions, players may not have much effort to take care of that end. But if you are free one day, you may not be able to make some extra money through that channel. Therefore, when the time comes, it will inevitably have to deal with various forces in the city of 'Ulrik'.

"It's all up to Klamatis." Barrett turned his gaze to the priest, "Now you seem to be picking up an extra burden. ”

"Do you want to sort out the relationship between this?" Speaking of which, Clematis. Bot turned to look at his companion: "It seems that I will have to choose the advanced 'Golden Eye Emissary' in the future to be able to meet your requirements!" ”

"'Golden-Eyed Emissary'?? Is this a unique progression of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce? Rielly looked at her companion curiously, "The name alone gives people a very 'money' feeling. ”

The 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' is the patron goddess of trade, money, and wealth. As a unique advancement of this church, the 'Golden-Eyed Emissaries' are very active in various economic activities. It's always them who find ways to facilitate trade. to increase the wealth of the community or country to which they belong.

Some of them will take risks at a young age to accumulate their first money. There are also those who call themselves "liberators" who specialize in "liberating" useless wealth that has been hoarded or hoarded in ancient tombs – because it does not create more wealth. Conversely, there are those who become guardians of existing wealth to ensure that wealth (especially their own and the church's) does not fall into the wrong hands.

Of course, the golden-eyed emissaries usually lead business groups and trade stalls in big cities. Or find ways to break down political, religious, or cultural barriers to trade. Most of them were extremely wealthy merchant aristocrats, using their wealth to influence the situation in a low-key manner.

Claymatis. Bot nodded: "I was also a person who didn't make up my mind to advance to this profession before. After all, relatively speaking, its combat power bonus is not very much, but it has a lot of reinforcement for negotiation and intelligence gathering. But who let us not have bards in our ranks! Relying on the message pipeline of noodles alone now seems to be completely insufficient to support our actions. ”

"Are there flaws in intelligence gathering?" Hearing this, Barrett immediately fell into thought, and finally he shook his head: "The Bard profession is probably less numerous than Mages among players!" We think it's not easy to find someone! So I think in this aspect, it's better for you and Noodles to carry a little more! Don't fool an aboriginal to come ......"

Bards have a wide variety of professional abilities. Whether it's casting. Hand-to-hand combat, or the use of skills, seems to have related abilities. This makes the bard perhaps the most diverse of roles. The ability to conceal oneself is not comparable to that of a Ranger or Wanderer, and the ability to cast spells is not comparable to that of a priest or mage. Combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of barbarians or warriors.

So in a way, it's a low-intensity profession -- one that learns a lot, but doesn't master any of it. And this point of view is imprinted in the minds of players after the experience of a large number of players after entering the game. The first group of minstrels, who chose Bard as their starting class, almost all of them paid for it. A large number of scolding posts can be said to have built high-rise buildings offline.

The first is that success also affects the mind, and defeat also affects the mind. In all basic classes. Poets have the most psychic powers. These abilities are the cornerstone of the poet, but they are also the poet's greatest weakness - an indictment of the bard who was chased by skeletons, zombies, and ghouls at the lower levels.

And a large number of skill points, covering a wide range of their own skills. As a result, the poet's skills have great room for development in breadth and depth. A large number of low-ring spells that provide skill bonuses, and different bonus types, make it less difficult for poets to stack up individual skill identification.

What's more, when the bard travels around the world, he collects various legends and gets news from other bards. This allows the Bard to do a special anecdotal knowledge check to determine if he or she knows information about a famous person, legendary object, or special place.

Relying on these abilities, the Bard plays a supporting role in most of the adventure party. However, for the vast majority of players, these abilities are of little use. On the one hand, the vast majority of players are not used to the changes in this high-fidelity second world, and what is more troublesome is that they are not very willing to level up with such a burden.

That's right, I'm not very willing to take the bard on a mission. Because in a team, poets don't usually hold core positions. Even in the eyes of many players, the poet is almost synonymous with combat inaction. Even if he can make others perform better, he can take on other roles when needed - but he is always indispensable.

Of course, this is not the case for the high-ranking Aboriginal poets. The panacea class in the eyes of players is under their control, whether it's hand-to-hand combat, control, buffs, or curses, as long as enough resources are invested. There are always one or two outstanding abilities that can be obtained. It can be said that if paired properly, poets can also be at the heart of the team.

However, none of those high-level aboriginal poets has been boiled out after more than ten or twenty years of hard work. A reasonable collocation requires a lot of exploration, and the acquisition of resources requires a lot of time and energy investment. As a result, their experience is too different from what the players want.

Influenced by reality. The vast majority of players have a restless heart. Having them sing in the plaza bar every day to gain experience, and then watching the other players who enter the game with them constantly carry their goblin heads to level up is too much to value their hearts - if the scarcity of paladins is due to the large number of precepts that make players feel unfree, then the scarcity of bards is due to the fact that people are not proficient in this difficult class!

So far, the number of minstrands counted on the forums is less than two percent of the total number of players. These guys are scattered across the continent, and it takes a lot of effort to find them. And most of them are real-life music lovers - to put it bluntly, they got into the game to satisfy their green artistic dreams. It's not an easy thing to pull these guys who dream of becoming big stars out on an adventure.

"If you can't find a player, forget it. Are the aborigines so easy to fool? If we weren't careful, we would be sold by them. Rielly retorted Barrett's suggestion very bluntly. It seems that the posts on the forums where players were pitted by their aboriginal teammates left a very deep impression on the mage's head.

"Then there is no way! Maybe Clematis and Claudia have friends who like music? Barrett immediately turned his attention to the two ladies. Unfortunately, the two shook their heads again and again.

And at this time, the opening of the noodles can be regarded as relieving them: "If Clematis chooses the 'Golden-Eyed Messenger'." Then I'll choose Dommel's Killer as my advancement. ”

"O Killer of Dormel! Can I say that it is worthy of the Church of the Dragon God of Good? The relationship between the celestial realms is really good. Barrett squinted at the halfling.

Although, due to their nature and the nature of what they do, the vast majority of Assassins were evil - murder for money was an entirely evil act. However, sometimes many noble ones also require the skill set of the Assassin for their purposes. Request the power of the archetypal Dormel, the Killers of Dormel, a secret organization of trained shadow spies and - when needed to appear - Assassins who serve the ideals of order and goodness. Rather than relying entirely on stealth and poison, the Killer of Domel prefers to use supernatural means to deal with evil enemies.

Wanderers are the most common to become Dormel's killers. In rare cases, the Order will also accept repentance and make amends for past misdeeds, and wish to become former Assassins of Dormel's Killer. This class is said to work closely with other characters from the Good Order, but not with other Killers. (To be continued.) )
